:) i would like to get some pics posted... no camera tho... :( a Buddha Red... frags are pieces of coral , that are removed from the parent coral, either by cutting/ braking off then attached to a new base to grow from, sorta like cuttings from a house plant and re-planting the cutting to grow another plant, hope this helps ya... on another note: 55 wat blubs are like antique in the lighting improvements for tanks, most are not handling this wattage light system, i believe i was one of thoes who didn't do there home work before i got a light system for the tank... cw.

:rolleyes: in reef huh???
let me take a note, in my red list! :mad:
Trying to make a buck on us fish people by dumping bad merchandise like that!
Terrible, INREEF is not in my good list no more
One comment, CWWrenge, you can call the manufacturer of the bulb ( probably inreef is just a distributor) and tell them what happened, I am sure they ( man) will do something about it. I went through somethuing similar with another item ( a top for my Suzuki Samurai Jeep) and, the store just told me off, once I called the manufacurer, upon showing my receipt, they replaced my top no questions, and told me that the store I got it from acted bad.

:) Thanks for the input Jamiecid...i no longer have the reciept for the bulbs, being over a year-a-go...but you certainly gave me some new insite to rectify any simmilar situation.... again thanks, cw.

No prob bud, that's what we are here for, ;) contact the manufacturer, they are always backing their products, the retailer might not care about a product, but the manufacturer does, it is their creation, they will either replace it themselves, or, call directly the retailer and pull on their ears.. :eek:
Retailers that get that mean, never count on people calling in on the manufacturer, and, those retailers might not have been in that situation, they are up to a surprise. :WC
